this is one time you can tell your neighbor, with a straight face, that Dawn will rise in the west,” said Dawn Project Manager Keyur Patel
What a cut-up that guy is. ;') If he's ever tellin' people that dawn rises in the east, he really needs to consider a new line of work, or adult ed classes, or something.

It's possible now because of the revolutionary ion engines that will propel Dawn through the cosmos.

It's also very slow. Leave to NASA to make space exploration extremely dull.
